STAMFORD, Conn. -- A Stamford man is accused of assaulting two women outside a downtown nightclub.

Police said Jorge Briceno, 38, was arrested outside the Bungalow nightclub early Sunday morning in connection with the assault.

Briceno is accused of approaching a 19-year-old woman just after 2 a.m., and dropping his pants and exposing his genitals. Police said Briceno tried to force himself on the woman, knocking her to the ground.

Stamford police said another woman came to help the victim and Briceno punched her in the nose.

Briceno then fled the scene, police said, but was taken into custody after a brief foot chase.

Briceno was charged with two counts of assault and two counts of public indecency. His bond was set at $25,000 and he is scheduled to appear in court on July 17.
